So I’m not allergic to some of the foods I thought were causing my reactions, as I found out during my allergist appointment. He told me it’s probably not even a food that giving me these problems and wants me to start a routine of allergy medication. He wants some additional blood work, but right now I’m just going to watch what I eat and any products I use on my skin…Hmmmm.
In other news, we’ll be back to your “regularly scheduled programming” here on Strength and Sunshine next week with two fabulous recipes I’m super excited to share with you. Some nostalgia and some breakfast goodies will be coming you way! Stay tuned and happy weekend!
